Daylight Deception

What I don't like about Daylight Savings Time:

I'm used to staying at work "late." And by "late," I mean I'm used to it being a little dark when I leave my office. This is because I usually show up at the office at around 9:30, so when it gets dark at around 6:30, it's pretty much time for me to leave. But when Daylight Savings kicks in, it doesn't get dark until around 8:00. And there have been times when I'll lose track of time because I try to judge the time by the amount of daylight left, only to realize it's 7:30 pm and I'm still at the frigging office for no good reason.

Holy Crap! It let me in to leave a comment! I'm getting up for work at 3:30. That's 3:30 A freakin' M, so I'm going to bed between 8 and 8:30 these days. It was kinda freaky after the time change since it's still a little light out.

Dennis, may I suggest a desk clock?

Steve-O: Your work schedule sucks. Like, totally. And it also sucks that your telephone apparently only makes outgoing calls but doesn't accept incoming ones. :-P

Peter: :-P I have a desk clock... I just seldom actually look at it....
